hello all. i recently bought from B&H some rodinal in powder form that you have

to mix yourself. i forget the company that makes it. im not sure where i went

wrong, but my film came out horribly. rodinal is my favorite developer, and i

really dont even want to mix my own again. is there any company that still makes

it in liquid form? or something similar? if so, please let me know what they

Yes, Rodinal 2003 (unopend) is working like new. Our aging test (half filled Rodinal 125ml bottle) is going to pass 4 years in a few months. Also from 2003 and testing on APX100(new)/Rollei Retro 100 film and a check with the TRD-Z densitometer from Heiland. Till now (3 1/2 years) no deviations and we are reproducing this test under the same circumstances every 1/2 year.

"speaking of rodinal, my sister has what appears to be an unopened bottle from her days in photography, back in fall 2003. if unopened, is it still good?"

 

I received a 12-year-old bottle of Rodinal a few years ago. It was 1/4 full and had been that way for most of those 12 years. It worked fine with no development adjustment necessary. The stuff is truly amazing.
